Dr. Max Gruenwald, president of the Leo Baeck Institute, announced Mon day that the Institute was awarded a $15,000 grant by the Charles E. Merrill Trust to support the further development of the Institute’s library. Four years ago the Trust gave $10,000 for the same purpose and thereby helped the Institute to catalog its books and archival collections, thus providing their use by scholars and students throughout the country. The 40,000-volume library and its 300 archival collections as well as its research work and publications are devoted to the study of Jewish history in German-speaking Europe during the last 200 years.
